العنوانV pins the Jew
الوصفThis anti-Semitic leaflet was possibly an airdropped propaganda leaflet or a handout. The Nazi government often prepared leaflets and postcards about their V1 missile (Vengeance weapon 1), with a V falling on a person or landscape. Early in World War II, Churchill started using the letter V in British propaganda to indicate the eventual victory of the Allies. The Germans were embarrassed by its use by partisans and subsequently claimed that the V meant Viktoria and was painted on walls by their supporters. In this leaflet, the V pins a Jew clearly marked by the Star of David to the ground. The Jew seems to be wearing a Roman military uniform, perhaps as a reminder that the evil Jews killed Christ.
